Restaurant Le Santa Fé St Barts

Since Emmanuel Maurin took over the reins of Santa Fe in 2008, it has become one of the best restaurants in St Barth, located just a few minutes from Gustavia. Open for lunch and dinner, Santa Fe offers refined cuisine greatly appreciated by a discerning clientele.

Background

Born in Grasse, a small village on the Cote d’Azur inland from Nice, Emmanuel Maurin has over 20 years of experience in the restaurant business. After earning his diploma at a cooking school in Nice, he decided to be an ambassador of French culinary arts in the world-at-large. Working for acclaimed chef Roger Vergé at the Moulin de Mougins, as director of the four-star restaurant at the Sydney Opera House, and as chef at La Crémaillère in Greenwich, Connecticut, has allowed him to share his passion for French cuisine with a Mediterranean accent.

When he moved to St Barth in 2000, Emmanuel first served as the sommelier at Sapotillier before taking over Santa Fe in 2008, bringing a new culinary ambiance to the only restaurant in the neighborhood of Lurin/Gouverneur.
